Minnesota now offers 'X' for gender option on driver's licenses

[Equinox Moon]

There is now a third gender option for Minnesotans applying for a new or renewed driver’s license.

Listed along with “M” and “F” is “X” for any applicant who does not want to identify as male or female.

“Gender identification is a self-descriptor like eye color, height and weight,” read the statement, sent in response to questions from the Star Tribune.

Now, this is progressive.

4. I think it'd be cool if everyone claimed X to show that government labels don't matter

when it comes to how one defines themself.

5. It sounds good in theory but it opens the door for wide spread discrimination

Such as ...

What do you mean I don't hire any Black people and there are no women in upper management?


Everyone is race X and gender X

6. Interesting. I am sure there are pro & cons to it.

I remember making a comment once about why put down race on the census? We are all American.
I received a lot of feedback on how it REALLY matters. From that experience I wonder if gender would matter for certain things.
